Best Contemporary French American Restaurants in Theater District

We loved the ambiance. The gnocchi Mac and cheese was amazing! My husband had the duck and said it was a little overcooked. My branzino was very delicious!

Celebrated my wife’s birthday with an amazing dinner. The service and our waiter Gustavo were great. We had the oysters and caviar to start which were fresh and tasted great. My wife had the sea bass for dinner which she found to be better than most others she has had. My filet was cooked to perfection, tender, and seasoned well. We could not have asked for a better night. The ambiance of the restaurant is perfect for a quiet and romantic dinner.

Great choice for pre-theatre dining. Food/price/service all excellent. Location is perfect.

My Sunday brunch/lunch today at THE BARKING DOG was absolutely perfect. I arrived very early for my reservation and was seated inside. This was a plus today because the temp was freezing. Everyone was very friendly and considerate. The Matre d' stopped by our table. My salad was delicious, and my son's egg special looked delicious as well. We had more than enough time, since we were seeing a matinee at the WORLD STAGES next door. We doddled at our table and no one rushed us. A perfect combination of concerned and prompt service, outstanding cuisine, and a relaxed ambiance. The presence of numerous delightful dogs added to this ambience, and I do love dogs.

Best meal I think I’ve ever had! Worth every penny. We wanted really good food and really good atmosphere and we got everything we wanted. And the piano player was the cherry on top!
